Host Faith Posted March 17, 2012 Author #426 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I really enjoyed the Moroccan Spiced Chicken Salad. I figured I wouldn't have the chance to try something like that at home anytime soon, so I gave it a try. The chicken was packed with flavor. Not a lot of heat, just more curry flavor. Delicious. The calzone and the tempura. Both looked great and they were happy with each. Now, I was actually kind of grossed out by my steak with gorgonzola butter. I wish I had gotten the sirloin from the alternative menu. For dessert, we had the (regular, not sugar-free) key lime pie, which was pretty good!

Host Faith Posted March 17, 2012 Author #427 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think I'll take a break for a while, thanks for reading with me so far. Again, feel free to ask questions or leave comments you think would be helpful to others planning their Liberty vacations. Up next, photos from the rest of our evening, and a full day in Fort Lauderdale. Our flights didn't leave until 8 and 9 PM, so we had lots of time to enjoy the city. It was a bright, sunny day too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted March 17, 2012 #428 Share Posted March 17, 2012 After the show, we went to our last dinner on the ship. None of us was very happy about it. Just before this shot, I said, "Crystal guess what? Tomorrow the cruise is over and you have to get off the ship!" That's just mean!:p;) The last night is the WORST! I always pack in the late afternoon, so I can ignore the fact that its the last night ! Love the Crystal bingo story...I was so hoping she get that cruise! ( and we'd get another review;)) I always say that every cruise has some "characters"; Crystal was clearly one of the characters on your cruise!

justmeinflorida Posted March 18, 2012 #436 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Chrystal, I was going to wait until you were done with your review to comment. However, I just can't contain myself any longer. :D My wife and I sailed on Monarch two months ago for our first cruise. We were booked on a 5 day Liberty cruise next January almost before the luggage was unpacked back home. To say we've embraced the cruise lifestyle would be an understatement. I am not kidding when I say two months have gone by and we STILL talk about it every day. We have truly fallen in love with cruising. Thank you so much for your review. You've allowed us to experience Liberty through your eyes as well as the eyes of your friends. Your review has not only answered many questions we have had about Liberty, you've given us so much to eagerly await. It is obvious you enjoy sharing your experiences and your excitement is definitely contagious to those of us enjoying your reviews and pictures. Thank you again. January 28, 2013 cannot possibly come fast enough. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise pup Posted March 18, 2012 #437 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Now, I was actually kind of grossed out by my steak with gorgonzola butter. I wish I had gotten the sirloin from the alternative menu. Or just order it without the butter or on the side next time. I'm not big on broiled or roasted meats with sauce or gravy. I usually request them served "dry" or "sauce on the side". The waiters are very obliging. Anyway, this looks like the weakest menu of the 4 so I'll most likely go to Chops or Portofino on the night they serve it on my cruise.

It was nice to be able to view what was happening on the pool deck, and it didn't seem to cause that much of a distraction for me otherwise.

sauceonship Posted March 18, 2012 #446 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Chrystal; 19 days before we sail on LOS. What is the cocktail you love so much & what is in it? Do you know the legal drinking age in Mexico? My boys (all 7 of them) can't wait to drink a Corona on a beach. After reading what you said about Mr Sanchos, I think this is a good place for us adults to keep our eye on them:) They also can't wait to play Black Jack in the Casino (that will wear off once they start losing their money). Also, when I first started cruising in 2003, there was a lovely old couple who wrote reviews. I couldn't wait to sit down at the computer and let them "weave their story" for me. I feel the same about your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
